(a webmistress strikes again…..)

Yea, this is Tracy… If the lenses in your beer goggles are kegs!

Hi! Tracy the Webmistress here butting in on Stoneman’s Blog. If you had to sit in the office across the hall from Stoneman and Brian everyday, you might enjoy it, and you might be slightly insane. There’s the yelling, the smelling, the insane laughing, the barbs, the burping…and yet, should I do any of the above mentioned, I am chastised that I should act like a lady. Well the testosterone levels up here are so high I think I’m growing a beard. Of course, both Brian and Stoney think nothing can happen (well, at least Brian knows better) but Stoney has much to learn. So I thought I’d just show off a picture I caught of the two of them last weekend at Artisphere.

Seriously… I love sit up here with these guys… they are the best… but PLEASE don’t tell them… I already have to live with them!

This is what I love about the South, food, sunshine and people watching!  There was all of that down at Artisphere in the West End, it was a potpourri of creativity everywhere, including what some people were wearing, I’m sure you saw those people as well.  Makes you feel good about yourself doesn’t it.

Thanks to everyone that dropped by the “ROCK 101 Blues Cafe” and ALL of the great bands that hung out over the weekend, the sounds were sweet.  Check out some of the pics is took!

The day well all try to put off is here, now!  It’s tax day, April 15^th.   Remember before e-filing and programs to do your taxes at home that were made idiot proof, whatever, there were long lines at the post office up to midnight on the 15^th just so you could get that postmark stamp so you wouldn’t be a day late, and defiantly a dollar short.   Today, most people are finding they can prepare and file their own tax returns in minutes, securely, and online.   Since 1986, when e-filing began with just 25,000 tax returns filed online, the number of e-filed returns has risen greatly, last year; nearly 80 million tax returns used e-file, representing about 57 percent of all returns.

I still pay someone to do my taxes, because if they screw up, they pay for it, then, hopefully, my but is covered.  Plus, I can get my money back in 2 weeks, NOT 2 months!

Have you seen the latest picture from the White House?  Vice President Dick Cheney on a recent fly fishing trip enjoying the great outdoors with a big smile on his face.  Why is the Vice President smiling?  Look at the reflection in his glasses, I’d be smiling too…

Here’s a cool story from last years Workforce winner John Corbett’s wife Vicky, it’s about life, family, and good fortune, enjoy…

VRRRROOOOM!! 1962 TBIRD

That is how my oldest describes what he calls the “red car”. Last May, my husband and 2 sons were very blessed. You see my DH likes to listen to his favorite radio station at work…Rock101. Rock101 had a contest to be put on the payroll and you were paid $100.00 a hour until you were kicked off by someone else calling in. (The radio station would call a new name every hour from 8-4). If you heard your name, you called the station. Anyways, his name was called and he was on the payroll for 11 or 12 hours. We were jumping up and down, this was fabulous…who couldn’t use the extra money especially with 2 lil pumpkins!
By winning this contest, your name was put in a larger drawing to win a 1962 Ford Convertible Thunderbird. You had to go to a local dealership that was sponsoring this event with Rock101 on May 19th, 2007. I had volunteered to work at a teddy bear clinic at the hospital I work for. This event allows children to bring their bears to the hospital and see what would happen if the bear broke his arm…or needed a breathing treatment with a nebulizer…or even if their bear needed surgery. (the next one is May 17th, 2008 and I will blog about that event in more detail).

Well, I persuaded my husband to go to this give-a-way because you needed to be present to win. I told him to bring the boys as good luck charms. Approximately 40 or so people showed up to win the car. My lucky men were number 38 if I remember correctly. 37 other people went ahead of them to see if they won the lucky CD that when placed into the player would make the Vrrrrrooom sound of an engine starting. Ironically, the teddy bear clinic had just finished up and I was driving back home listening to the radio anxious to find out who had won. I heard them introduce my husband and talk about my two boys. I thought…..this is neat. Within seconds, I hear VRRRRROOOOOOM and my husband screaming like a girl! THEY HAD WON THE CAR! I started screaming, hitting the steering wheel, and bouncing up and down. I almost had to pull over.

We have enjoyed that car. My oldest son in this picture still tells the story of the red car going vrrrooom and daddy screaming. It is quite funny. He likes to sit in the front seat (when the car is parked, of course). We did install seat belts in the back to accommodate their carseats to ensure safety. After all, it is their car. My husband dreams of all 3 of them restoring it completely. It needs a little work, but overall it is in great shape. Kinda like a family project. It is warming up here and soon we will be going on a family drive to see what God has to offer in the beauty of Spring. We are truly blessed to have such a fun story to tell in years to come.

Kudo’s go out to the truckers for their protest on high gas prices, we ALL need to something like that as well!  All we have to do is not buy gasoline for one day.  I wouldn’t mind the high gas prices so much if the petroleum companies were not making so much damn money with record profits and executive bonuses.  Do you think it is possible all of us can to pick a date and not buy gasoline?  If possible, e-mail me a jdstone@entercom and let me know.
